MULTI USE BASKET
My friend gifted me this yarn and I wondered
what I could do with it.. just one ball of yarn and this lovely extra thick
yarn.. so I started scouring the net to see what would work best. Coincidentally my friend (yes, the same one
who gifted this yarn) has a lil baby girl, who obviously has dolls – so I
thought this would make an ideal basket to hold the doll clothing and
accessories.. whatchathink?
Materials used : One
ball of this stunningly thick and soft acrylic Vardhman yarn, with a 10 mm
crochet hook
To purchase : Pradhan Embroidery Stores is the official stockist for all Vardhman yarns. If this is not available there, please contact vardhmanknitworld on Instagram or find their website of the same name and order.
For Non-Indians : The
original pattern link uses tee-shirt yarn (I think.. that’s what it looks like)
– and I’ve used this super bulky yarn.
You can make this project with any yarn
and a hook that suits it.

Instructions :
Today I’ve decided to make a basket to hold
Barbie doll clothing and accessories for a friend’s baby girl.
I’ve been inspired by this video for my
project.
Using this same pattern, you can work in
different colours (a different colour per round) and use up all your
stash. When using stash though, remember
that all yarns should be of the same type or thickness and can be used with the
same hook.
As I've used a super bulky yarn today, this project holds it's shape really well, and it was made super fast too.
SO in case you wanna use a thinner 4-ply yarn, I'd suggest you work with two or three skeins held together to get a thicker yarn. If you use different coloured yarns, then you'll have a fun colourful basket at the end :)
I can see this basket being used in the bathroom to hold little rolled up face towels - or the kitchen with a similar use or to hold tissues.
If you use some nice shiny yarn, it will also make a good container to gift a hand made item - so go ahead, create and spread smiles.
I hope you had as much fun as I did.. have a
great day too.
